Edit and unsend text messages not working on iOS 16

After updating iPhone 13 to iOS 16, user is still seeing separate "message edited to" bubbles and unsent messages remain visible (incoming messages).


Outgoing messages can be edited and unsent, and appear correctly on other iOS 16 users.

The solution was disabling iMessage on the iPhone, waiting a couple of minutes, then turning it back on.


Edits and unsent messages now behave properly.
